sorry to double post, but the links for the mini-adb and unrevoked 3.22 are not packages, they're both .exe installers for vGrabber. I tried the 7zip method and it just picked apart (extracted) the vGrabber installer

I was just going off memory about the recovery img file... I could very well be mistaken, anyone confirm that there is one yet? I definitely remember the option to choose a different recovery before running the reflash package.

I thought I remembered it too after you said it. But I recall running the Unrevoked .exe and then it auto-extracted some files to the desktop. The one you then ran was the reflash utitlity. That's the way it was when I used it waaay back when, and I think there was in fact a recovery.img file in that group of extracted files. Anyway, I haven't hooked up and tried it but I was unable to find it using 7zip. That's what I had been trying earlier this morning with no luck.

Also, it's remotely possilbe that a different recovery.img could make this not work. After all, this has failed with othe versions of Unrevoked and I'm STILL not sure why it's working with this particular version. At any rate, it's still an excellent idea to try another recovery image file if we can figure out how to get to it. It would help the SLCD crowd to avoid that circumstance. If you do have an SLCD though, and you get SU, you can always reflash recovery in Rom Manager which is a pretty easy task in and of itself.

This is me... I installed ROM Manager and did Flash ClockworkMod Recovery from with the UI. Then I chose Reboot into Recovery. From there I chose Backup/Restore. I got the black screen and pulled my battery.

Nope you're not missing anything,rom manager is not updating the recovery. Try flashing the alternate recovery in rom manager and see if that works. Clockwork is there and working,you just can't see it

Sometimes it takes mutliple flashes from within Rom Manager for it to "take". If that still fails, we may be looking at something else that's a byproduct of the procedure. What version of CWM does it say you have when reflashing in Rom Manager? It should list it there.

The current version of cwm that you can flash via Rom manager is 5.0.2.0. If you aren't getting that, its not reflashing right. I would add that it sometimes takes many attempts. I've heard people say greater than 5 tries on somewhat regular occasion. Keep trying. Meanwhile, I will be thinking of a good workaround.

Hey guys. I'll do give my dues first as it is my first time on this forum and I'd like to be respectful, so thanks to scotty85 and anyone else involved with this process!!

If anyone could assist. I was able to successfully root my phone and I'm attempting S-off. I'm stuck at the command adb push mtd0.img /sdcard/ and getting a permission denied error. Note: everything else is successful up until this point. Can I skip this step for a second and use adb shell to get the root prompt and then give permission or is there a way to give permissions to write to the sdcard without doing that? I was thinking about changing to that directory via command prompt and manually giving permission or maybe doing it through the phone itself while plugged in. Not quite sure.
